LED Channel Letters Buying Guide: Cost, Materials & Installation Tips

When choosing LED channel letters for your business signage, 3 key factors determine success: material durability, energy efficiency, and installation expertise. As a professional LED channel letters manufacturer since 2008, we’ve installed over 12,000 signage projects globally. Here’s our proven selection system:

1. Material Comparison (Aluminum vs Acrylic)

  • Aluminum letters (0.8-3mm thickness):
    • 10+ years outdoor lifespan
    • IP65 waterproof rating
    • Ideal for restaurants/hotels
  • Acrylic face + PVC edges:
    • 5-7 years indoor use
    • 30% cost saving
    • Best for office lobbies

2. Cost Calculation Formula
Total = (Number of letters × $45-85) + Installation ($120-300)
Example: “CAFE” sign (4 letters):

  • 24″ aluminum letters: 4×$65 = $260
  • Roof mounting: $250
  • Total = $510 (DDP shipping included)
